... hadn't heard of Richard Tomlinson or Menwith Hill. Yet he was to start filming a couple of weeks after talking to me. He will do a competent job but he will never get close to what I would regard as the important issues. But this is one of the central points there is no reason why he should try: his bosses are very unlikely to let him to include those important issues because they are not within the consensus view of what counts as 'news' or 'reality'. And this is true not just in journalism. Discussing the possible publication of a book on 9-11, an editor in a London publisher e-mailed me recently: 'There ...

... founder member of that group and an ex-Davis campaigner. Carr's book provided an opportunity for Special Branch to feed peanuts to us about the AB. Special Branch remains the least accountable part of the Police Service. My gut feeling is that there exists almost a taboo against pressing home the need for continued Special Branch scrutiny or accountability. BOSS and our own spook services dropped a real clanger that truly rebounded at least on the Criminal InJustice System when Peter Hain was fingered for a bank snatch at his local Barclays. And Davis was suddenly let out by exercise of the Royal Prerogative, despite having less than 6 months earlier lost his Appeal; and no full explanation has ever ...

... puts on an Islamist face. There is nothing new about 'kleptocratic' regimes or rebellions against them. What is new is that the US is much weaker than it was and is less well placed to intervene in other countries. They can bring governments down but no longer determine their replacement. And second is the impact of globalisation. The bosses of the 'criminal organizations' she writes about, the 'kleptocrats', today invest their money in Dubai, Switzerland, Britain (or, more properly, London) and elsewhere. If Islamist rebels make life too uncomfortable they can always go and live elsewhere. Indeed, she sees 'kleptocracy' as the way that so-called liberal ...

In effect we have a memoir plus three abbreviated versions of the same material. Holt says he went to work for Mob boss Meyer Lanksy after WW2, referred to Lansky by a criminal he met while in prison (there is a hint that Holt shot Ben 'Bugsy' Siegel). In 1953 Lanksy arranged for him to work as a kind of bagman for the CIA front, the International Rescue Committee.1 9 In the 1950s Holt was working for IRC ...

... U.S . Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and of paying an electrical foreman 9,375 not to tell federal officials of his safety concerns at the plant. (31) One worker, Dobie Hatley, who had raised safety concerns, was pressed to take part in the falsification of records required by the NRC: 'My boss called me in and told me that we had to get the books to match [the NRC audit requirements]. If we did it right, it probably would have taken a year. So what were we going to do? We had to pass the audit and the only way to do that was to rewrite the documentation. ...

... /smear had first appeared in Waugh's diary column in Private Eye in April 1975. Cavendish continues: ". .if something came into Maurice's hands relating to the Prime Minister of the day, his duty would be clear, he would show it to one of three people: the Prime Minister himself, the Cabinet Secretary or his immediate boss, the Foreign Secretary. I believe from things Maurice said that something may have come into his hands and that he showed it to the Foreign Secretary, James Callaghan." Writing about the Prime Minister in June 1975, Waugh added this intriguing touch to the tale: "Another factor may have been the discussions we had over the ...

The KGB man, under cover at the Soviet embassy, bought her lunch, then he bought her lunch again and asked her to get some documents for him, Labour Party policy documents, the kind that would have been sent to the Soviet Embassy on request. Betty Boothroyd told her boss; her boss called in MI5. But the MI5 officer misread her, and tried to recruit her to spy on some Labour MPs. She refused. MI5 did what they do so well: they bad-mouthed her at the Foreign Office and she was banned from working there. (The head of MI5 told Harold Wilson that ...

... Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy. But Hoover obtained a secret ace when the FBI picked up word that President Kennedy was seeing a beautiful young socialite named Judith Campbell. Like many of his sexual conquests, Campbell had been introduced by singer Frank Sinatra. She was a friend of Sinatra's Mafia associate John Roselli and mistress to Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana. In other words, President Kennedy was unwittingly sharing a consort with one of America's top underworld leaders and a key target of his 40 Beschloss, The Crisis Years, pp. 613-614. 41 Summary memo, FBI Supervisor Milton Jones to FBI Assistant Director Cartha DeLoach, 13 July 1960, in Athan Theoharis, ...

... thousands of Communist Party leaders to the Indonesian army, which hunted down the leftists and killed them, former U. S. diplomats say. ' Perhaps 5,000 names were given to the military during the massacres in 1965 which left perhaps 250,000 dead. Somehow Kadane had persuaded a senior CIA agent in Indonesia and his diplomatic boss at the time to talk, on the record. The story was run, briefly, in the British serious press. A couple of months later Peter Dale Scott passed through Britain and rang me. I mentioned the Kadane piece, how interesting it was in the light of his essay some years before on US involvement in the 1965 ...
